I mostly stick to target shooting when the range is not full of people

If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease."Not using a quarantine tank is like playing Russian roulette. Nobody wins the game, some people just get to play longer than others." - Anthony CalfoFishless CycleCycling with FishMarine Aquarium Info [URL="http://saltwater.aquaticcommunity.com/"]

...I have other pets...including my parrots and my snake. I've trained dogs (competition level for myself and puppy classes for others). Now I power walk with our 3 dogs (they really enjoy that). We did a lot horseback riding and shows when the kids were little, and we still have a herd of 'em. I didn't ride at all last year...had an ankle injury. Hopefully this year will be better...

I have a small flock of heritage and rare breed chickens (and one turkey)...as pets and for eggs.

Then there are the 4 tarantulas and the cockroach colony...

I play violin in our community orchestra...I also will play viola...but my opportunites aren't too great there.

I just got a bassoon! I'll likely have more opportunity to play that in a group setting down the the road when I get some expertise.

I'm also somewhat involved in the visual arts...but not too much at the moment...

I also target shoot...

I knit and do some needlework...sporadically...

Other than that ... I read, watch some TV...and spend too much time on-line...;)

Reminded me of something I find totally awesome. Not watching birds, but flying with them. Any soaring raptor, vulture or any intelligent bird can be followed when paragliding. They have millions of years of evolution in their favour for finding rising air currents, so finding circling birds going up is the best way to soar.

It's amazing to be on opposite sides of a circle with a bird, going round in circles together, eye to eye. They even show mutual aviator respect, keep their distance, but aren't usually worried by the strange monkey hanging under a wing. Often they join you when you find rising air, but usually it's the other way around.
